Historic small general aviation airport in Santiago's Vitacura district.

Location

Santiago, Chile

It has historically served private and light aircraft operations rather than commercial airline traffic. The airport sits within an affluent residential and commercial area of Santiago, which has created longstanding urban pressure regarding its land use. Its operations have been limited in scope compared to Santiago's main international gateway, Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport. Due to its urban location and the expansion of the surrounding city, the future and operational status of the airport have been subject to ongoing discussion by Chilean authorities regarding potential closure or repurposing of the land.
